Pokemon Quest proves to be a huge success, makes $8 million in just one month

The Smartphone and Switch exclusive Pokemon title Pokemon Quest has proved to be a huge success for Nintendo by making over $8 million in just over a month on smartphone platforms.

The game has had huge hype behind its launch and made over $3 million in its first week. Although sales have slowed down as expected after launch, Pokemon Quest is still making $30,000 daily across both iOS and Android. For comparison its single best day performance was a massive $580,000 in a single day.

The game is most popular in Japan where it counts for 34% of the revenue. The land of the rising sun is followed by USA at 24% with South Korea contributing 12% in third. Pokemon Quest players on iOS were responsible for 66% of the revenue while Android contributed rest of the 34%.

Considering the game isn’t explicitly designed to be a money sink, or at least of what I’ve played so far, the sum its made is mighty impressive. The in-app purchases are mostly to buy things like Cooking Pots and Decorations to attract Pokemon and Batteries to increase Stamina, something you could probably play without paying for.
